Reds in The White House - Why is Michelle in a Red Dress?

Our Belle Michelle in a Red Dress for the Red Chinese

Tonight on the Kudlow Report Donald Trump is telling Kudlow how he would deal with China. Trump would hit the Chinese with a 25% tariff for starters. Trump is talking about running for President. I believe Trump. Truth is ruthless enough to do it and the Chinese would respect who they would be up against.

I posted this a couple of days ago (cleaned up a bit):

I remember when Trump went bust building the Taj in Atlantic City. He held a huge conference in one of the Taj meeting rooms with all the contractors he owed money for building the place. In the back of the room were tables full of lawyers armed with contracts and hair clippers. Trump let them know who was daddy. Like sheep they accepted discounted five year bonds instead of cash. Trump knew his very survival was at stake. He did what he had to do to benefit. This is the hard cold business type we need to confront the Chinese.Obama should have had Trump in with him and Hu to hem and haw. I doubt he would be wearing a red tie.

In an extraordinary outburst on the House floor, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) invoked the Holocaust to attack Republicans on health care and compared rhetoric on the issue to the work of infamous Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

“They say it's a government takeover of health care, a big lie just like Goebbels," Cohen said. "You say it enough, you repeat the lie, you repeat the lie, and eventually, people believe it. Like blood libel. That's the same kind of thing. And Congressman Cohen didn’t stop there.

“The Germans said enough about the Jews and people believed it--believed it and you have the Holocaust. We heard on this floor, government takeover of health care. Politifact said the biggest lie of 2010 was a government takeover of health care because there is no government takeover," Cohen said.

My sister, apropos of nothing, just sent me this crazy Peggy Noonan quote from 1992. I assumed she had seen it on Wonkette since that is her only source of news (I consider this very wise), but I couldn’t find it there.

The life of people on earth is obviously better now than it has ever been—certainly much better than it was 500 years ago when people beat each other with cats. This may sound silly but now and then when I read old fairy tales and see an illustration of a hunchbacked hag with no teeth and bumps on her nose who lives by herself in the forest, I think: People looked like that once. They lived like that. There were no doctors, no phones, and people lived in the dark in a hole in a tree. It was terrible. It’s much better now.

Peggy! That is some outstanding shit!

If you are not laughing out loud, there is something very, sadly wrong with you.

Philadelphia (CNN) -- Allegedly running what the prosecutor calls "a house of horrors," a Philadelphia physician, Kermit Barron Gosnell, was charged Wednesday with murder and other offenses related to illegal, late-term abortions.

The doctor is accused of causing the death of one of his female patients and killing seven viable babies in illegal abortions, Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams said.

The babies were born alive in the sixth, seventh and eighth months of pregnancy, but their spinal cords were allegedly severed with scissors, Williams said in a statement.

Nine other people who worked in the west Philadelphia medical office, including Gosnell's wife and sister-in-law, also were charged, Williams said. The practice, called the Women's Medical Society, served mostly low-income minority women for years, he said.

According to Bloomberg, overseas banks may no longer cater to US. clients. Tell us something we don't know. More and more banks here in Panama see the handwriting on the wall and are making it a policy to no longer handle U.S. customers. The cost of complying with U.S. regulations is just getting to expensive. One might think this was a plan by the U.S. treasury and IRS to keep money from leaving the U.S. and force those abroad to repatriate their funds.

Magnificent Ronald and the Founding Fathers of al Qaeda

“These gentlemen are the moral equivalents of America’s founding fathers.” — Ronald Reagan while introducing the Mujahideen leaders to media on the White house lawns (1985). During Reagan’s 8 years in power, the CIA secretly sent billions of dollars of military aid to the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in a US-supported jihad against the Soviet Union. We repeated the insanity with ISIS against Syria.
